Chapter 2, Arrival in the Human World
After his discharge from the hospital, he faced the situation of being homeless. Although his uncle sincerely expressed a strong desire to take him back to live with them, he appeared extremely troubled when it came to discussing his aunt's formidable nature. In the end, Zhang Chi chose to live in his grandparents' small room, which was less than 15 square meters, even though legally, his uncle also held a half inheritance right to this small room.
Zhou Liangmin's backpack is very large, while Zhang Chi's backpack is quite small, because his backpack does not contain as many textbooks and review materials as others do
Zhang Chi does not need to review; having not even learned the material, how can there be any talk of review? As early as the first half of the first year of high school, all the subject teachers had completely given up on this difficult student. In class, you can choose to listen or not, and for assignments, you can choose to submit or not. They let things take their course without intervention. The hospital has stated that this child not only has brain damage but also psychological issues, which cannot be cured through education.
Even when he was in the Heavenly Court, he did not possess such abilities. Zhang Chi believed it was very likely that his drinking companion with the ability to see a thousand miles had secretly intervened on his behalf, as a form of gratitude for his discretion in not betraying him.
In the end, it was my uncle, who handled the sale of the house, that purchased the property at a low price
This compels the school to promote itself through subtle and caring means, akin to the gentle nurturing of spring rain. His weight gain has also become compelling evidence for his uncle and aunt to boast about how they value family ties and how they take care of their nephew
Zhang Chi understood that he was no longer the little celestial being with a bright future in the Heavenly Palace, nor was he the mortal with impaired intelligence from the past. The current him was a newly revived life, and today marked the first day he would face this world with clarity.
What was even more unfortunate was that the investigation into the car accident later revealed that it was caused by my father driving under the influence of alcohol. Not only did the insurance company refuse to provide compensation, but the responsible party also had to bear the damages incurred by the rental car company
On the very day the agreement was finalized, my uncle and aunt hurriedly moved in. My little cousin eagerly told everyone that they had a new house, describing how beautiful the community environment was, how high-end the amenities were, and how luxurious the home decoration was
Despite being aware that the presence of Zhang Chi will lower the college admission rate for this year's graduates, there are a total of 18 classes in the senior year, with over 800 students. There can be many excellent students, but there are very few key support targets that can be highlighted for promotion.
Zhou Liangmin chose to go home with Zhang Chi for another reason; he wanted to do something, and having the stout and robust Zhang Chi accompany him could at least provide some courage, merely for the sake of courage.
The school and society have not forgotten this poor orphan, as the school has raised charitable donations for him and has fought for relief funds on his behalf
Every month, his uncle gives him 300 yuan for living expenses, while the remainder is kept by his nominal guardian, the uncle, who claims it is saved for his future university education. However, it is evident to everyone that Zhang Chi has no chance of stepping through the gates of a university.
The doctor warned him that he must lose weight; if this condition continues, one day he may suffer a sudden death due to brain hypoxia
Zhou Liangmin is Zhang Chi's neighbor and childhood playmate. Zhang Chi was not like this in the past; he was an outstanding student with excellent character and academic performance from kindergarten through junior high school. Otherwise, he would not have been able to gain admission to Beichen City's No. 1 Middle School
How could such a promotional point lead to a retention? Thus, Zhang Chi smoothly and somewhat confusingly advanced to the third year of the liberal arts experimental class.
Zhang Chi is indifferent; in fact, during this car accident, his brain suffered a significant impact. According to the hospital, it is already a medical miracle that he was able to be saved. His brain will experience a certain degree of damage, and this incident will also have a tremendous impact on his psychology
The inheritance left by several elders is not substantial, but there is one uncle on my paternal grandparents' side and two uncles on my maternal grandparents' side. These relatives are not well-off, and none of them is willing to give up their inheritance rights
The school leadership has also made the front page of Beichen Daily because of this, and the community committee has applied for a subsistence allowance for him, with the monthly allowance of 560 yuan being managed by his guardian, his uncle
Zhang Chi's appetite is not large; after the car accident, he developed a physique that gains weight even from drinking cold water. His reactions are slow, and his movements are clumsy. Although he appears fair and plump, he lacks strength and breathes heavily with every third step.
Most people regard Zhang Chi as a waste, while some consider him a fool. Zhou Liangmin is one of the few classmates who has never looked down on Zhang Chi. Before junior high school, Zhang Chi was always the target of admiration and pursuit for Zhou Liangmin
Although his parents' house is located in a prime area near the subway entrance in the city center, the house was purchased with a loan, and Zhang Chi simply does not have the ability to repay such a large sum. The best solution is to sell the house, but people have heard about his family's situation and consider the house to be inauspicious, making it difficult to sell in a short period of time.
An object of love and support from all teachers and students in the school cannot be abandoned by the Zhonghe Library. The century-old prestigious school, Beichen No. 1 Middle School, will not give up on any student
In an era of soaring housing prices, the price was discounted to 70% of the original contract price. My uncle, with a face full of reluctance, said it was out of pity for him; otherwise, he would never buy a haunted house to help their family pay off debts
Three years after the car accident, the clearest day is today. He suddenly became aware, to the extent that he could clearly perceive his own and others' physical conditions, and could quantify abstract concepts such as intelligence, emotional intelligence, strength, and defense into tangible data.
Zhang Chi was originally very likely to be admitted to prestigious universities such as 985 or 211, but that was in the past; after the accident, no one thought so anymore
The quick-witted uncle used half of his rightful property rights to secure a loan of 100,000, which means that while purchasing Zhang Chi's new house at a 30% discount, he also paid 100,000 less.
Although Zhang Chi's academic performance has stagnated, his lateral physical development has not ceased due to the car accident. He has rapidly expanded, resembling a steamed bun that has risen, increasingly diverging from the normal template of a struggling student.
During Zhang Chi's hospitalization, a significant amount of money was spent, and ultimately, this major issue was resolved through the generous donations from the school and the community.
Fortunately, Zhang Chi has always adhered to classroom discipline, with his greatest flaw being his tendency to sleep. He even went to the hospital specifically for this issue, where the doctor stated that it was due to the brain damage he sustained during that incident, which resulted in insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. Additionally, his increasing weight has further burdened his body, leading to his excessive sleepiness
Zhang Chi still appeared confused and dazed, with no one knowing what he was thinking, not even himself
The optimistic and eloquent Zhang Chi suddenly became taciturn after the car accident, yet Zhou Liangmin still felt inclined to confide in this childhood friend, never worrying that Zhang Chi would divulge his secrets
During the summer vacation after graduating from junior high school, in celebration of his admission to a prestigious high school, his parents rented a van and took the whole family on a road trip. Little did they expect that joy would turn to sorrow; on the way back, they were involved in a car accident. Out of the seven people in the vehicle, he was the only one who survived. His father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, maternal grandfather, and maternal grandmother all perished in that accident, and thus Zhang Chi naturally became an orphan
He rapidly fell from the first place in the city's comprehensive examination results to the last place in his entire grade, and he unambiguously maintained this last position until his third year of high school. The reason he was neither retained nor advised to withdraw was entirely due to the exemplary status he had established upon his enrollment.
